Property description

Owners Comments
'Living in Farley for the last 14 years has been a great pleasure, if you want a peaceful life, interrupted by Barn Owls passing your window, Tawny Owls, Twit- Twooing to each other, Hawfinches feeding of the Hornbeam Nuts and House Martins nesting in the gable then you will be happy.”

“The wild flowers in the hedge banks and the sound of flowing water between the ponds are part of everyday “Stresses” that you will encounter, by the kitchen window, there are Great Tits nesting upstairs, Blue Tits downstairs in the old hollow trunk. Wildlife of every sort visit us, Foxes, Badgers, Frogs, Grass Snakes, Deer and Ducks come to breakfast regularly, Moorhens nest on the pond…its a busy life!”
